Artists

Tomiyuki Kaneko
Tomiyuki Kaneko’s work has been garnering attention for the high impact it has on viewers, with works like “Red Banas Pati Raja” (2012) selected for use as the main visual for the “Domani: The Art of Tomorrow” exhibition held at The National Art Center, Tokyo last year, and “World Serpent” (2012) selected for the group exhibition “SerpentiForm,” organized by BVLGARI and hosted at the Art Science Museum, Singapore this year.
.
Kaneko has been interested in the world of morality since childhood, and after majoring in Japanese-style nihonga painting at Tohoku University of Art and Design, he traveled to Cambodia and worked on figurative sketches based on the art of Buddhism, Hinduism, and other spiritual beliefs. He continues to work on depictions of invisible spiritual entities, such as Japanese yokai (spirits) and kami (gods), while working out of Yamagata in the north of Japan.
This exhibition will present Kaneko’s manifestation of figures such as the trinity of Hindu gods of creation, preservation, and destruction, which were later adopted by Buddhism and brought to Japan, as well as to Indonesia in the form of the mythological character Barong Macan.
